Is this a bamboo orchid (arundina)?
I found this plant abandoned at the end of the winter season in our town greenhouse a couple of years ago. I repotted it and it grows very well. Like a weed really.
It has never flowered so I've not been able to confirm its identity.
The plant is tall with the canes from 3 to 4 ft tall. The sharp leaves grow in pairs up the stalk as you can see. I grow it in full sun (I'm in northern New Jersey) and feed it weakly weekly.
I am very interested to know if it is an arundina and if so if anyone has suggestions on prompting it to bloom.
Thanks so much - /chet
